Inform plays a very important role in life and nowadays, the world largely depends on the World Wide Web to obtain any information. Web comprises of a lot of websites of every discipline, whereas websites consists of web pages which are interlinked with each other with the help of hyperlinks. The success of a website largely depends on the design aspects of the web pages. Researchers have done a lot of work to appraise the web pages quantitatively. Keeping in mind the importance of the design aspects of a web page, this paper aims at the design of an automated evaluation tool which evaluate the aspects for any web page. The tool takes the HTML code of the web page as input, and then it extracts and checks the HTML tags for the uniformity. The tool comprises of normalized modules which quantify the measures of design aspects. For realization, the tool has been applied on four web pages of distinct sites and design aspects have been reported for comparison. The tool will have various advantages for web developers who can predict the design quality of web pages and enhance it before and after implementation of website without user interaction.

This article empirically examines the role of governance in attracting FDI for a sample of ten Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries over a 15-year period. We have approximated the attractiveness of FDI by governance through an endogenous variable called FDI in relation to GDP. The quality of these variables was tested by the positioning, dispersion and shape indicators and verified the normality of these variables by the Jarque-Berra test and the quality of linear adjustment of each variable with respect to its mean. The empirical validation of the impact of good governance in the attraction of FDI was carried out using the static Panel technique and based on the assumption of the absence of a stationarity problem for the explanatory variables of our model. Homogeneity-heterogeneity tests were used to specify the reference model and model the role of governance in the attraction of FDI by a panel with individual effects. The estimation of this model by the Within and GLS procedures yielded significant results.

Right now, the Internet is the most common medium people use to obtain access to knowledge. One's requirements vary from a single word sense to specialized papers and self-education. Revisiting previously visited web pages is one of the most common and unpleasant activities a person does. In fact, a significant primary feedback technique is included in tailoring the individual's memory of vigor and re-examination patterns. Our successful control of environment and object recollections, including decay and reinforcing techniques, may imitate device retention and retention mechanisms. This proposed solution takes into consideration the normal human retrieval method of utilizing episodic and textual memory signals for fast retrieval and includes a different site revisitation mechanism known as the "Web Page Preview" via meaning and information gained through user discovery and web page visits. The underlying methods for the collection, preservation, degradation and usage of meaning and quality of consumer memories for page re-discovery are addressed. Our 3 month user study says that of the time, location, and activity context factors in Web Page Prep, activity is the best recall guide, and context + content based re-discovery provides the highest results relative to context and content individual rediscovery. This concept, if completed, can be used to improve web surfing functionality by providing users a variety of apps with a rather simple UI.

The motivation for this chapter is the observation that many companies build their strategy upon poorly validated hypotheses about cause and effect of certain business variables. However, the soundness of these cause-and-effect-relations as well as the knowledge of the approximate shape of the functional dependencies underlying these associations turns out to be the biggest issue for the quality of the results of decision supporting procedures. Since it is sufficiently clear that mere correlation of time series is not suitable to prove the causality of two business concepts, there seems to be a rather dogmatic perception of the inadmissibility of empirical validation mechanisms for causal models within the field of strategic management as well as management science. However, one can find proven causality techniques in other sciences like econometrics, mechanics, neuroscience, or philosophy. Therefore this chapter presents an approach which applies a combination of well-established statistical causal proofing methods to strategy models in order to validate them. These validated causal strategy models are then used as the basis for approximating the functional form of causal dependencies by the means of Artificial Neural Networks. This in turn can be employed to build an approximate simulation or forecasting model of the strategic system.

For many years, the World Wide Web (Web) functioned quite well without any concern about the quality of performance. The designers of the Web page, as well as the users were not much worried about the performance attributes. The Web, in the initial stages of development, was primarily meant to be an information provider rather than a medium to transact business, into which it has grown. The expectations from the users were also limited only to seek the information available on the Web. Thanks to the ever growing population of Web surfers (now in the millions), information found on the Web underwent a dimensional change in terms of nature, content, and depth.

La calidad en Internet tiene un gran valor, y más aún cuando se trata de una página web sobre salud como es un recurso sobre drogodependencias. El presente artículo recoge los estimadores y sistemas más destacados sobre calidad web para el desarrollo de un sistema específico de valoración de la calidad de recursos web sobre drogodependencias. Se ha realizado una prueba de viabilidad mediante el análisis de las principales páginas web sobre este tema (n=60), recogiendo la valoración, desde el punto de vista del usuario, de la calidad de los recursos. Se han detectado aspectos de mejora en cuanto a la exactitud y fiabilidad de la información, autoría, y desarrollo de descripciones y valoraciones de los enlaces externos. AbstractThe quality in Internet has a great value, and still more when is a web page on health like a resource of drug dependence. This paper contains the estimators and systems on quality in the web for the development of a specific system to value the quality of a web site about drug dependence. A test of viability by means of the analysis of the main web pages has been made on this subject, gathering the valuation from the point of view of the user of the quality of the resources. Aspects of improvement as the exactitude and reliability of the information, responsibility, and development of descriptions and valuations of the external links have been detected.

Object-oriented (OO) approaches of software development promised better maintainable and reusable systems, but the complexity resulting from its features usually introduce some faults that are difficult to detect or anticipate during software change process. Thus, the earlier they are detected, found and fixed, the lesser the maintenance costs. Several OO metrics have been proposed for assessing the quality of OO design and code and several empirical studies have been undertaken to validate the impact of OO metrics on fault proneness (FP). The question now is which metrics are useful in measuring the FP of OO classes? Consequently, we investigate the existing empirical validation of CK + SLOC metrics based on their state of significance, validation and usefulness. We used systematic literature review (SLR) methodology over a number of relevant article sources, and our results show the existence of 29 relevant empirical studies. Further analysis indicates that coupling, complexity and size measures have strong impact on FP of OO classes. Based on the results, we therefore conclude that these metrics can be used as good predictors for building quality fault models when that could assist in focusing resources on high risk components that are liable to cause system failures, when only CK + SLOC metrics are used.

Document similarity search is to retrieve a ranked list of similar documents and find documents similar to a query document in a text corpus or a web page on the web. But most of the previous researches regarding searching for similar documents are focused on classifying documents based on the contents of documents. To solve this problem, we propose a novel retrieval approach based on undirected graphs to represent each document in corpus. In addition, this study also considers unified graph in conjunction with multiple graphs to improve the quality of searching for similar documents. Experimental results on the Reuters-21578 data demonstrate that the proposed system has better performance and success than the traditional approach.
